Each Our School child is part of a mixed-age family group. Social interchange flows easily among children with a range of ages. In every day life outside of school, how unusual would it be to see a sizable group of children together, where all the children are exactly eight years old?
Facilitated by a close child-teacher connection, each child's level within various subjects is continually assessed. Expectations are based on a child's ability rather than a child's age. Individual academic needs are met within this cohesive family group. When appropriate, a child will work with children in another family group for a particular project or academic area. This fluid movement is flexible throughout the year and helps create a tailor-made scholastic program for each student.
Here's our family group structure:
| Middle School - Older Group | (Blue Moon) | teacher: Deb Swift | grades 5, 6, 7, 8 |
| Primary School - Older Group | (Rainbow Lounge) | teacher: Marie Beltran | grades 3, 4 |
| Primary School - Middle Group | (Nature Place) | teacher: Jane Snyder | grades 1, 2 |
| Primary School - Younger Group | (Busy Bees) | teacher: Tom Moore | grades K |
| Preschool Group | (Birds' Nest) | teacher: Cathleen Brauen | pre-kindergarten |
